SONG OF GODDESS 似是人故人來
by PAU Ellen 鮑藹倫
6:30 / 1992
The work pays tribute to the famous Cantonese Opera duo, YAM Kim-fai and PAK Suet-sin, both women who play the role of lovers, with Yam in male drag. The couple worked together on stage and in films. They were so popular that Yam was named “The Silver Screen Lover.” Yam never married and mostly lived with Pak. When Tam died in 1991, Pak arranged her funeral and wrote a banner saying “I would die a hundred times to bring you back to me.” In this video, their film, The Emperor Lee and their life story are woven together to tell tales of dying a hundred times and forever, reality and illusions, past and present, parted and together.
借香港粵劇名伶任劍輝，白雪仙合演的電影《李後主》中的故事，比喻女人與女人之間的親密情感。在現實中，白雪仙送給任劍輝的那句「如可蜀夸，人百其身」，是永訣也是若即若離的深情，如何淒艷動人總比不上長存在鏡頭前後像霧又像花的驚鴻一瞥，或者是纏綿悱惻的生離死別。

我流，
在眼前，她會出現，
會碰上她，吻上，擁上，再哭。
多美。
我看見她，她站在窗前，想跳，
回頭對我笑，我感動，
沒有地，只有事，我創，
地也是我創。
無謂再流，也充不滿，
我回頭看，火車已開出了，
飛快的境物，在外，還是…
她的火車，
有她的戀人，
她望出車外，
看見了我，
我哭了，流了一地，
沒有路牌，迷了。
在那時發生？我問。
她，她說，
不要緊，我已經和妳在一起！

DIFFERENCES DO MATTER大不同
by MAK Anson 麥海珊
3:00 / 1999 
My singing voice sounds very different from my speaking voice. What people position you (as tong shi = homosexual) is very different from what I articulate about myself (as bisexual). Learning to (re)present myself in demonstration is very different from staying home and watching the very same demonstration on TV. This video being bi(tri)-lingual is different from the one without English and Chinese (different from Cantonese though) subtitle.
我唱歌的聲音和說話的聲音非常不同。別人如何將你定位(同志=同性戀) 和我自己如何審視自己為(雙性戀者) 也非常迴累。學習透過示威去證明自己跟在家觀看電視上的同一個示威行動是常不同的。這個雙(三)語的作品跟沒有中英(有別於粵) 字幕的作品亦不同。
